Alternative splicing of Lymnaea Cav3 and NALCN ion channel genes serves to alter biophysical properties, membrane expression, and ion selectivity
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-30)Evidence is presented that Lymnaea contains homologues for mammalian Cav3 and NALCN 4-domain ion channels, which retain key amino acid sequence motifs that differentiate these channels from other 4-domain types. Molecular ... -
The Hydrogeochemistry of a Constructed Fen Peatland in the Post-Mined Landscape in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-28)Large areas of land within the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) have been subjected to open pit mining to recover bitumenous oil sands. Following extraction, oil sands require the addition of solvents to optimize the ... -
The impact of adding front-of-package sodium content labels to grocery products: an experimental study
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-29)A high sodium diet is a predominant risk factor for hypertension, which is in turn a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Canadians consume approximately twice the daily Adequate Intake of sodium, most of which ... -
Vadose zone flow patterns and their implications for sodium transport and aquifer recharge in a reclaimed fen watershed in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-02)The reclaimed Nikanotee Fen watershed consists of an upland tailings sand aquifer, capped with a finer soil cover (LFH-mineral mix, or LFH) to support vegetation, that supplies groundwater to a low-lying fen peatland. ...
